We’re running low on coffee. When we came back from Australia, we brought about 4 packets of coffee beans with us. Plus, we have 2 packets that we acquired at various times throughout our stay in the USA.
But the problem with having unground coffee beans is – you need to grind them. Seems rather obvious, really. And I’ve been reluctant to buy a cheap blade grinder for fear of producing sub-par coffee. So instead, I’ve purchased a burr grinder which I found on Amazon – generally it got good reviews, and most importantly, it didn’t break the bank. (In fact I got it on sale, from $79.99 down to $29.99!)
Since I’m a cheapskate though, I shipped it with Amazon’s “Free Super Saver Shipping” service – generally acceptable, but packages can take up to 10 days to be delivered. And in the meantime, we’ve run out of pre-ground Illy, so we’re only pulling out decafs! At least the latte art isn’t suffering.
. But I’m wondering why you still need a scanner? I have downloaded a great scanner app for my phone so I just take...

how did you go with the Tesco stuff Gez?
MMmmm… Tesco coffee…. we drank the ground stuff before we’d left Australia (delicious! Ben may have had some too, in fact…), but we’ve got the beans here to grind up in New York!
